Douglas Rudolph

Hey. I'm a data-driven builder who likes to track life in numbers, patterns, and progress. I live in NYC, spend a lot of time running, and I'm always working on something.

Right now that's Tero. Tero is a semantic control plane for observability data. I'm helping shape product direction at Tero, where I work across product, design, and engineering.

I'm probably best described as a creative technologist: equally deep in programming, design, and product. I'm also casually building an indie game called Coffee Quest.

I like to write and build in public. This site is where I share what I'm making and how I'm thinking.

I'm also publishing a private newsletter. I send it rarely, when I have something to say. I also read every reply. You can join it here:
